I love busy

My days are always so busy with a pretty tight schedule to keep it all together. I feel like every minute of my day is assigned to some task or activity. I can't even complain about this. It makes me happier than I can express. The other day Phillip and I were having a discussion about this. About how busy we always feel. But we both feel the same way. We (especially me as a stay at home mom) feel so much more satisfied being busy and tired instead of feeling bored, lonely and ultimately, Unfulfilled.

And the best part? It makes these little moments of doing nothing but lounging with our son and reading a book that much better. Winding down actually feels fantastic when we have something to wind down from. So bring on the errands, the projects, the "have to do this right now". I love it. Being busy is such a blessing and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Love it! My husband and I have the same conversations.. about how busy we are. It can be overwhelming at times.. especially because I am more of the impatient one that needs something done right.this.second. Its sometimes hard to balance it all and to live in the moment, and soak it all in as life is whizzing by... I feel the same way.. when I am busy I feel much more productive... fulfilled (as you mentioned), etc.

It is a great feeling being busy with your baby! Playing and running errands and reading and feeding etc. I love a full day. With a one car home and a husband with two jobs we have 1.5 days to do all the errands for the week and any type of family time, so those days are nuts but in such a good way.You are so right, it is much better to unwind from something than lounge all day. Those days are too boring for me! Let's go go go.

Guess what? This is exactly what big companies are paying for. They need to know what their average customer needs and wants. So these companies pay $1,000,000's of dollars per month to the average person. In return, the average person, like me and you, answers some questions and gives them their opinion.
